Graphite, Graphene, and Their Polymer Nanocomposites (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Mukhopadhyay, Prithu; Gupta, Rakesh K.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Perhaps the first of its kind, this book explores emerging research trends in graphene-based polymer nanocomposites, including the underlying physics and chemistry. Covering the entire spectrum of graphene-based materials topics, from synthesis to characterization to processing and practical applications, this state-of-the-art book provides the point of departure for future polymer-based nanocomposites research. The chapter authors, drawn from experts from around the globe, summarize their recent research and provide their perspectives for the future by drawing attention to the challenges that must be addressed before research results are fully integrated into the next generation of science and engineering applications.
